The Congress Party on Friday launched an attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) over the ongoing JNU campus row, saying the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was also the other side of the same coin because they think themselves to be above the law of the land.
"Kejriwal has not tweeted anything new. Since the last few days, the anti-BJP and the anti-RSS handles are trending on Twitter, thousands of people are portraying the same sentiments that the BJP and the RSS are thinking themselves to be above the law," Congress leader Sharmistha Mukherjee told ANI.
"AAP or the BJP and the RSS are two sides of the same coin because they all think themselves to be above the law of the land. Whenever there has been any allegation against any senior AAP leader or MLA, Kejriwal and his party have been crying hoarse," she added.
Kejriwal today said the Narendra Modi led-NDA Government has formed a new definition of Indian Penal Code (IPC), under which any opposition against the BJP and the RSS was the biggest crime.
"The Centre's new IPC- it's not a crime to murder, rape or beat anyone if u r from BJP. Being opposed to BJP n RSS is biggest crime now. Centre's new IPC- rape, murder or beat anyone. When questioned, just say that victim was shouting anti-India slogans, u will be let off," Kejriwal tweeted.
The Delhi Chief Minister had yesterday attacked the Centre for not following the Supreme Court's order of maintaining peace at the Patiala House court premises.
